A delicacy originally from the Gruyere district of Switzerland, this cheese is best known as a key fondue ingredient. This Austrian version offers all you'd expect in an Alpine Gruyere-- it is delightfully nutty, spicy, full-flavored, and aromatic when melted. A whole wheel weighs approximately 80 pounds, and it takes over 700 pounds of milk to make a single wheel. We recommend this cheese be diced into salads, melted in a hot sandwich, or blended into a piping-hot pot of cheese fondue.

All the people who make cheese work very hard at it. I, whose taste buds have diminished, cannot vouch for my judgment. The cheese seems milder than the Gruyeres I have tasted in the past. Also, I know all of you work very hard in determining what cheeses to buy and how to distribute them. Thank you for your excellent service. The Australian wafers are so-so and have little taste.

Not like the swiss counterpart

Just not as sharp or clean tasing as the swiss guyere..i'll buy that everytime over this one.

A fine substitute for other Gruyere cheese

Although certainly not as flavorful as the French and Swiss Gruyeres, this is a very acceptable substitute - preferably for melting in casseroles, sandwiches, and other dishes. Snacking on this cheese may be very slightly disappointing, but it is satisfying otherwise in cooking.

Excellent.

This is very mild and tasty. Have to try it in a fondue pot. Sounds amazing.

Heavenly and Nutty!

One of the most delicious cheeses is this satisfying gruyere. A perfect snacking cheese.

Should be melted

I served this cheese on a cheese tray and it was not the most popular. It would be superb melted in a fondue or hot sandwich.

yum!

This tasted great on its own and in the fondue I bought it for! The igourmet delivery is so convenient especially in a small town I live in where you just can't find the cheeses you want.
